Chapter 776 The moment to witness the miracle! Black powder!
Now that the saltpeter has been obtained, the natural next step is to try to see if black gunpowder can be made from this saltpeter.
This is very, very important.
At present, the three raw materials for making black powder have been completely prepared.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
"Boss, how should we make gunpowder?"
"Is it enough to just mix the three ingredients together?"
Su Xiaoqi didn't know how to make gunpowder.
This is also a normal thing. If you ask someone to tell you a specific method now, there are probably not many people who can tell it accurately.
Who cares about this?
There really is, Ye Han is this kind of person...
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make black powder on the island!
"In fact, the most important thing is the ratio of the three raw materials, which was also figured out bit by bit by predecessors."
"The ratio of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur is 15:3:2. This ratio is quite scientific."
"It is worth mentioning that there is a word for medicine in the name of black gunpowder. It was first accidentally discovered by the alchemists of China when they were refining medicine. Unfortunately, in the later world, gunpowder took away countless
Isn’t it ironic to waste one’s life?”
Ye Han popularizes science for Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly as she gained knowledge.
But then, she realized a problem.
Among this ratio, saltpeter accounts for the largest proportion!
However, among the three materials, they have the least, but they need the most saltpeter!
What to do?
"Don't think so much first, let's try first to see if we can make real black powder."
Ye Han saw Su Xiaoqi's thoughts and said with a smile.
Next, they ground the saltpeter and charcoal into powder.
In front of the two people, saltpeter powder, charcoal powder, and sulfur powder were placed.
The next step is to mix these three materials.
The risks here are not small!
If the three materials are stored separately, they will not explode.
However, once they are mixed, the danger is doubled!
"call!"
"Xiaoqi, don't get too close."
"Dahuang, go ahead and stay away!"
Ye Han asked Su Xiaoqi to step back and not get close to avoid danger.
Dahuang, who wanted to see the excitement, was driven away by Ye Han.
This made Dahuang feel aggrieved.
But Ye Han didn't care what he thought. Making black gunpowder was very dangerous. This was for the good of Rhubarb.
Next, Ye Han started the operation.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were also very nervous.
I saw that Ye Han had prepared a piece of animal skin scraps, which was rabbit skin and was as big as a palm.
Then Ye Han took out fifteen units of saltpeter powder and placed it on the rabbit skin.
A unit is a handful, a handful pinched with two fingers.
If this unit of measurement is used, then all the saltpeter Ye Han obtained this time would only be about a hundred pinches, which is indeed not much.
You must know that in the early days when science was relatively backward, saltpeter was an important combat material and was restricted because it was difficult to obtain.
"Fifteen units of saltpeter powder."
"Three units of charcoal powder."
"Two units of sulfur powder."
"Sulfur is the least needed, so you don't need to bring so much back."
Ye Han muttered something.
He felt that his heartbeat had accelerated a lot, and he was very nervous now.
Whether it will succeed or not depends on this.
It must succeed!
This is a great weapon against green anacondas!
Next, Ye Han very carefully stirred gently with a branch to fully mix the three powders.
At this time, the pile of powder on the rabbit skin had turned black.
Mainly the charcoal powder is black, and other powders also turn black.
Black is indeed a very domineering color. When other colors meet black, they will basically turn into black. Unless the gap between the two sides is very different, there is no suspense about the result.
"Black gunpowder! Ye Han got black gunpowder on the island!"
"Ye Han is simply invincible, I would call him the strongest!"
"Don't rush to boast, we don't know yet whether this black powder is effective or not!"
"It must be possible. I believe in Ye Han. Even if I don't believe in Ye Han, I still have to believe in Ye Han's luck!"
"The next step is to test whether this black gunpowder is useful. How will Ye Han experiment?"
"No matter how he experiments, Ye Han will definitely succeed!"
Ye Han's live broadcast room was already boiling with excitement.
A large number of barrages filled the audience's attention, and some people couldn't help but stand up.
Black powder!
Once successful, it will be an epoch-making initiative on the island!
Although this was not the first time Ye Han had done something like this, it still made everyone very excited.
To be the first to enter the Iron Age, we must also be the first to enter the age of firearms!
How many more miracles can Ye Han create?
“Next, it’s time to witness the miracle!”
"Everyone in the audience, are you ready?"
In the live broadcast room, Teacher Ma’s eyes were fixed on the screen.
In his hand, he held a mobile phone, and he was having a video call with Teacher Piao.
With such a big scene, Teacher Piao felt that it would be a pity if he was not in the live broadcast room.
Therefore, he strongly requested that he also show his face, and Teacher Ma fulfilled his wish through a video call.
"Everyone stand up!"
"From now on this place is called Ye Han Square!"
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry for the drama. I'm so excited right now. Ye Han actually created something like black gunpowder on the island!"
Teacher Piao's voice came out from the mobile phone, allowing the audience to hear it very clearly.
All over the world, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at Ye Han's actions.
Some people hope that Ye Han will fail, and some people pray that Ye Han can succeed.
"Boss, do you get black powder now?"
"How should I experiment? Will it explode suddenly?"
Su Xiaoqi asked.
Ye Han shook his head and laughed.
"What are you thinking about?"
"This little black powder is almost the same as what's in firecrackers."
"As long as it can be ignited, it's done."
Ye Han said to Su Xiaoqi, and at the same time he took out the fire seal.
His words made the audience a little disappointed.
Many people thought Ye Han was going to create a small explosion.
Unexpectedly, it was different from what I imagined.
But then I thought about it and realized that this was a reasonable thing. What Ye Han said was right.
During the Chinese New Year, firecrackers are set off, a big bunch of red ones, and they can crackle for a long time after being lit.
But there are always a few firecrackers blown up inside but not lit.
Some children will pick up these firecrackers, then tear the firecrackers apart, pour out the gunpowder inside, and light them.
The effect is almost the same as electric welding, very dazzling.
This is what Ye Han will do now.
He blew on the fire stick, then approached the pile of black powder and touched it.
Tsk! Tsk!
In an instant, the black powder powder burned violently, very fast, and in just the blink of an eye, the pile of powder disappeared!
Instead, a puff of smoke rose up, leaving traces of burns on the rabbit skin. It was still smoking and almost started to burn!
Seeing this scene, Ye Han nodded with great satisfaction.
He knew that the production of black gunpowder was successful.
